The remains of an Ethiopian prince who died in 1879, will remain buried at Windsor Castle, despite pleas from the boy’s descendants for his body to be returned to his home country. Prince Alemayehu and his mother were to be taken back to England, but the empress died on the journey there. Various members of his family have requested his remains be returned through the years, according to the BBC. According to the palace, requests from Ethiopian delegations to visit the chapel had been accommodated. Descendants of the Ethiopian royal family still want the young prince’s remains returned to Ethiopia.
